The goodthink NPR totebag liberals that claim to care so passionately about the environment ignore the fact that the United States military is by far the largest polluter on the planet.
Don't know how often I've said that these so-called wars are killing our planet because of israel's grip on the US, and the US wanting the rest of the world leaders to drag their countries into helping to end humanity's only home. Of course let's not forget the evangelicals who think they will inherit the Earth in the end times. They are welcome to it because it won't be a paradise that's for sure, it will be a baren wilderness bereft of flora and fauna and a few humans battling for food and shelter. I hope they realise who caused their misery, and remember how often they had been warned.
It pisses me off. The religious zealots, murder and mayhem supposedly for an eternal life after death that has NO basis in reality. Totally against trying to lead a peaceful, coexistence in this Life. The only life they truly have. Sick minds grasping at empty promises while murdering for Christ, Satan (Israel the anti Christ)and calling themselves holy. Carrying on ancient hatreds because that's how politicians and religions exploit people for profit.
Oh, yes, so many nations now becoming vassals to isra3l, including the former USA, EU, UK, India, AU, UAE and many more. But the entire USrael structure must be defeated and hung out to dry.
Damned right, Raoul. Our pretend centre-left, actual right-wing government is STILL happy to shovel money to Uncle Sam and let him convert Australia into sub-bases, air-bases for their use, and never mind that we'll never see the fucking submarines even if they were of any use (which they won't be). Our obsequiousness to Fatman Orange and his rag-tag team is not just embarrassing, it's fucking expensive. Added which, our playing a dead bat to the NaZionistas'/US war crimes, and our complicity in them, are making a lot of people down here are VERY unhappy.
I have said for months and years now that the drastic weather changes have less to do with gas stoves or plastic straws, but our world encompassing military destroying the earth for minerals and fracking, the skies through bombs and missiles, the surface of the earth through tanks. Not to even speak of all the chemical mess they use.
I watched Earth’s Greatest Enemy several months ago and found it traumatizing. It’s highly motivating because it shows us how little time we have left to rescue our precious and delicate planet and all its inhabitants. The US military and the oligarchs who pull its strings must be stopped NOW, or our beautiful ecosystems won’t recover. We are perilously close to an apocalypse.
It's pretty rough sledding, when I'm not aware of a single "opposition" candidate that is proposing a freeze on military spending, much less a reduction.
"Defense" spending goes up every single year, regardless of who's in office. Nothing can be done about it, except find a couple trillion in couch change to start a viable 3rd party, one dedicated to peace, human rights and equality for all.
Elections were never the real path to liberation. As Caitlin has described in a previous post, voting every few years is like when Marge Simpson gives baby Maggie a toy steering wheel while driving the car so she can pretend she's driving too
To add but a footnote to what you've written, a couple or so years ago I came across something about the potential for mass migrations and resulting political instability and upheaval because people would be seeking to flee drought, crop failures, unsustaining lands. And I wondered how the U.S. military was anticipating all this, what sort of planning it was doing to minimize the toll.
Then I came across some article which gave an answer. It turns out our military wasn't at all planning on measures to mitigate the impending catastrophe, but instead was focusing on how to secure the resources - oil, ores, metals, etc. - we would need to keep the gluttony going, to hell with everyone else. For this the Pentagon probably awards medals and promotions.
The Rothschilds-Epstein Class gatherings at Davos should tell you the plan. The Davos crowd plans on DOWNSIZING the Human Population to a controllable slave Class, using created pandemic & war.
The Greater Israel Project is part of the Rothschilds-Epstein Class plan to carve up what is left. These "Elites" don't care about the planet or LIFE. They are consumed with Greed and the Hubris and their weird cults (Luciferians, Satanists, Zionists). They believe that because they're the Most successful at EVIL- cheating, lying, raping, plundering and destroying Life, They are somehow "Superior." NO. They aren't more intelligent or more healthy or more beautiful... They are aging, decaying PARASITES... a pus-oozing boil that is about to burst and poison us all.
The question really is, "How?"
How do you resist when everyone uses a debit card now, instead of cash? How long before The Rothschilds-Epstein Class starts DEBANKING People? How do people change a system when they can't buy food or pay rent?
FLOCK cameras are being replaced with AXON Streetlight/Camera combos- Trump bought a boatload of AXON stock, so...
The Good News is that Trump & his Owner, Bibi, have woken up people around the world - FAST- as to what the "Most Moral Army" and Mizz Izzy EPSTEIN'S Endgame is with this War with Iran.
I am 61 yo American and I NEVER thought I would see SO much love and support for IRAN!
It's a beautiful thing.
Until the Rothschilds-Epstein Class has robot soldiers, They still need Cannon-fodder Human Soldiers.
Stark, powerful stuff, the issue in its essence. As to the military, every service member involved in that illegal fiasco should act upon his or her legal and moral duty not to obey illegal orders, en masse. That would shut down the f***ing enterprise instantly. As to support for Iran, imagine the fallout politically, militarily, should an Iranian missile strike or even sink one of the US Navy's multi-billion dollar Tom Cruise-class aircraft carriers, in just retribution for all the murderous sorties flown off its decks against Iranian school children, civilians, infrastructure.
Trump's Clown Car has been LYING about US casualties- Americans who are dead now BECAUSE of Israel's control of the US Govt. The numbers are closer to many hundreds (so far) as the 2 or 3 here or there, that the Official Reports dribble out.
I don't know how much longer they can keep it a secret.
People in my life that don't listen to politics, already believe that False Flags have been happening and more to come. NO ONE believes the Trump Admin. It's become a joke. Trump is enriching himself & his parasite/pedoe Zio-family at the expense of American & other Innocent lives around the world.
People who don't fully see iþ, can smell the rot. No putting the cork back in that bottle! The Rothschilds-Epstein Class can't hide this stench.
"The Rothschilds-Epstein Class can't hide this stench."
In this I hope you are right. What troubles me is that the Rothschilds-Epstein Class has its progenitors - one could pick just about any time in history - but the Dumbya era of more recent times (and crimes) I find especially odious, Bush fils should rightly be serving time in prison now for deaths, maimings, and injuries of millions he's responsible for, as well as his shredding of the Constitution. Through in all the rest of his cabal who are still living, Rice, Feith, Libby, etc. Cheney and Rumsfeld deservedly in hell.
It's been building in the USA since 1963, when They murdered the Last American President who had SOME free will. Both US Teams (Red/Blue) of the One Party Under Mizz Izzy EPSTEIN are corrupt and just tools for Their owners.
"It's been building in the USA since 1963, when They murdered the Last American President who had SOME free will."
I'd just extend that a bit beyond 1963, as I maintain LBJ's "Great Society" was the last worthy, notable, even noble aspiration for what this society could achieve, but of course that was undone by the Rothschilds-Epstein Class iteration back then in the form of the Vietnam War. The Right has been happily undoing every vestige of that endeavor to the present day.
And Abby is the sweetest. I'd never met her before, but when I entered the venue and paid for my ticket she was there giving me a big hug. I was so honored to be seen by such a strong voice for justice. Brilliant film from a brilliant woman.
Reminds me of “We have to limit the 1st Amendment in order to save it”. This was said by a Jewish Oligarch I don't remember his name except he had an ugly accent.
Support Watermelon Pictures. https://MVforPalestine.org has organized three different screenings of their films about Palestine -- most recently the monumentally superb All That's Left of You. They are doing good work.
I agree with this review. I already knew many horrific facts about our military industrial complex. And yet, it was still a refresher on why it is a good idea to make opposing the military a large part of one's life's work. A must see.
Great movie review. I certainly hope the film opens the eyes of many and encourages them to join the rest of us in tearing down the war machine. As the famous quote says: "War is not good for children and other living things."
Thanks Caitlin and Tim. Abbey Martin and this documentary - Earth’s Greatest Enemy - cannot be ignored by anyone who cares for humanity and the planet that sustain us.
The ecocidal abuses of the US war machine, is the cumulative effect of the relentless historical narrative of colonialism, imperialism and slavery that is the essence and the very nature of exploitative capitalism.
It is no longer history. We bear witness to millions being slaughtered and their habitat destroyed. The fossil fuel companies that rape and plunder the earth for insane greed. The toxic fumes of war that engulfs the "Wretched of the Earth", meaning all of humanity.
Thank you for weighing in on the documentary. In the comments that precede yours there seems to be no evaluation on whether this non-fiction film documents the no-doubt impassioned defense of a defense-less planet. Can you give us non-viewers some sense of the critical thinking of most of the represented 'sides' of the environmental issues addressed?
Thanks again,

I got to screen this film with a discussion with Abby herself. It's the most pressing issue of our lives and is a phenomenal documentary that needs to be promoted far and wide
Especially for the younger generation, many of us, I'm 86, won't get to see where this ends, we have to do this for grandchildren and great grandchildren.
"The film breaks down how the US military has become the single most environmentally destructive institution on our planet."
Thank you both for shedding light on this. How many so called "environmentalists" in the orbit of the Imperialist genocidal Democratic Party support the proxy war on Russia via neo Nazi Ukraine? NS2 deliberately bombed by Imperialism. They couldn't care less. I wonder if there is a single serious organization in the West focused on stopping the destruction of our human ecosystem sometimes or if it's all just green washed Zio Imperialism. If one cares about stopping the environment, they need to realize the revolutionary overthrow of our Zio Imperialist overlords is the necessary prerequisite to any hault to the destruction of the planet. It's first, last and always a question of class power. Not a single significant problem in human society can be solved with Zio Imperialism in power.
Just heard about it two weeks or so ago. Time lines are important. Needs to reach larger audience; must build that larger audience first by refusing access while building desire. Yes, No, Maybe So? I want to watch it and I don't even have to while I start applying to venues who will show it in my small unmoving cattle of the majority community.

And Canada seems to want to help them out. https://yvesengler.com/2026/07/27/what-do-whales-think-about-canadas-100-billion-subs/
a vassal state. Not to mention subs are obsolete, replaced by drones.
Tell that to the Australians, I don't think they've got the memo.

😡👍💯%
Bribery is what created all the NATO Toadies
I'm in Australia, the people are aware, it's the greedy bastard politicians who refuse to act seems the bribe money is too good.
Too bad you disarmed, trapped on a prison island .
Carney disgusts me. He did not run on ramping up our military. He's a Zionist and a warmonger.

Equality in voting would change that.
Indeed and glad you realized but would you question why it took you so long and tell your story to others? War against the apocalypse!

DO NOT JOIN THE MILITARY.
Convince Others NOT to join.
At this point... Starve the Beast.
